UK-based Clarity Commerce Solutions has announced that Matra, the group’s retail division, has won a significant contract with a US bedding and specialty store with around 1,000 stores in the US, Puerto Rico and Canada.

Clarity Commerce Solutions said that although initial revenues are modest, the contract represents a major reference site for new clients in the US and has the potential to deliver more significant longer term revenues.

Clarity will supply its Freedom Solution Center software, which will be used to implement near real-time delivery of sales transaction data from nationwide stores to headquarters and will ultimately be integrated with downstream systems such as data warehouse, sales audit, sales performance, markdowns and refund management. The rollout is expected to be substantially completed by March 31, 2009.

Ken Smith, CEO of Clarity Commerce Solutions, said: I am delighted to announce this significant contract win, which again endorses the strength and quality of our solutions and our capability to service large US companies. We now another excellent high profile reference site in the US and I look forward to reporting further progress in due course.
